"Oh, and since the ratings designations you asked for went over so big last week (and by "went over" we mean "nobody noticed"), we are moving this week to RealTimeRPI.com, which is more of a basketball rating site, but hey, any time someone has a list that puts Delaware (19) above Michigan (20) and Texas (23), we have to honor it for its sheer brass."
"The Blue Hens are also above LSU (33), which has to pay Kelly only $5 million less than Delaware's entire athletic department budget. And for three, they're the Blue Hens, for Christ's sake. But there's also this: North Dakota State hammered South Dakota State 38-7 in our Downmarket Game Of The Week, and RealTimeRPI has South Dakota State ranked 75th and North Dakota State 85th. This is a computer that must be respected"
Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry suggested handing LSU's next coaching pick to President Trump and announced that athletic director Scott Woodward would not choose Brian Kelly's successor, promising metrics and criticizing costly buyouts. Scott Woodward's previous hires resulted in $124 million in buyouts, and Brian Kelly's contract carries a large payout. RealTimeRPI rankings placed Delaware above Michigan and LSU, prompting ridicule given Delaware's small athletic budget relative to LSU's obligations. North Dakota State routed South Dakota State 38-7 despite RealTimeRPI ranking NDSU below SDSU, underscoring oddities in computer-driven rating systems.
